Marshi: Hey Shiny! Come over here. I have a surprise for you. Let's go.
Sugi: Hi Marshi! Do you want a muffin? I've got muffins. M: Not right now but thanks Sugi. Can you leave and join the others please they're already waiting for you. S: But I want a surprise too. I love surprises. Please can I have a surprise too? M: Sorry i really have to do this with Shiny alone, however the others are waiting for you in the cafe just around the arena and they told me that place is supposed to have the best cupcakes in the entire country. S: Say no more! See you later! Shiny Rainbow: Why do you have a microphone and a camera set up Marshi? I'm not going to do another interview with you a day before the draft. The last time was a desaster. I'm happy some of the teams still reached out to me, I'm not going to ruin it now. M: Trust me Shiny, i'm also actually prepared this time. Let me make it up to you. This interview is going to push you into the top rounds for sure. I know you don't want to be picked last. SR: Of course i don't want to be picked last silly. Alright i'm going to do this interview with you but if you ask me one stupid question, just one, I'll switch with my sister and then you can have your interview with Sugi instead of with me. M: No, please don't, just no please. I promise I'm prepared and this will push you up in the draft. SR: Alright go ahead then. M: Great! So hello to all the viewers and SMJHL fans out there. I'm here at the SToK Cae Ras Arena, in Wrexham, Wales with SMJHL Prospect Shiny Rainbow. Shiny, are you excited already about getting drafted into the SMJHL in about 30 hours? SR: Marshi, i'm so excited i just hope i don't pass out tomorrow from exhaustion because I'll be nervous all day. M: To be fair to you Shiny, time and place for this draft are super weird. Who is planning a HOCKEY Draft, inside an arena for FOOTBALL and RUGBY, at 1:00 AM local time in the middle of the night? Like WTF? SR: Marshi! You promised to ask me no questions that will make me look bad! But i guess they probably made a sponsorship deal with SToK Coffee and since they're US-based noone there has any ideas about european timezones. Also everyone here will be forced to try their coffee alot, like really alot of it to make it to the draft. M: Ok, ok, back to my script. So Shiny you've spend a few days here in Wrexham already with the other prospects. Were there any interesting prospect activities you want to share with the viewers? SR: Actually most of the time i'm just hanging out with my best friends and enjoy the days ahead of the draft. But there were also a few things all the prospects had to do. Like there was this questionaire we had to answer. With really weird questions, like why do they want to know this? M: If it was so weird, what were the weirdest questions on there? SR: I guess my top three would definitely be: What kind of dog we think we are, combined with what's the best way to make hotdogs. Like wtf? And they also wanted to know where we want to go back in time to. I was so happy once i finehed this questionaire and was out of there, it was a weird situation. M: I just hope... nevermind, no questions that can make you look bad. SR: Thanks Marshi, they also wanted us to do a mockdraft like right there at the beginning. The only time i've ever met the other prospects before was at the showcase. So i had only really talked to my team purple teammates yet. How am i supposed to do a mockdraft? I basically just looked at what others did, copied some of that and filled it out with random names. M: That means other prospects tried to predict when you're getting picked? Where did they have you on their ranking? SR: Most of them had me either in the mid 20s or outside of the 2nd round. I think 25 was the most common answer. M: 25? Really? That's the Mamalutes pick, i love the Mamalutes. That would be so awesome! SR: I know they are. All of you are either super into the Mamalutes or the Citadelles. I don't even understand why, all of you are probably huge fans of dogs or think that owl in the Citadelles logo looks way too awesome to pass on it. Any way... Some prospect named Jaquavion Tavius had me to go 2nd overall. He doens't even know me, he just declared his intention to join the draft and didn't even play in the Showcase. I just hope he doesn't have a crush on me. That would be so ewwww. M: Ewwww you're right, so creepy. I guess we'll better try to stay away from him tomorrow. And since you have mentioned it: Can you please talk about who is accompanying you to the Draft? SR: Of course i can! I'm here with my five best friends who were also my very first kids hockey team. Starting at the back, there is Salvador who was our goalie. He was a terrible goalie and sometimes fell asleep during the games. It was aweful. Then there is Wuschel, he was one of our Defenseman. But he was so scared to get hit or hit someone else, that he was mostly trying to hide behind the goal. However this way we could atleast task him with the job to make sure Salvador didn't fell asleep or to wake him up if needed. The other Defensman is my sister Sugi, she was here right at the beginning of the interview. We may be twins but there was absolutly no twinmagic on the ice. It's always unpredictable what she's going to do next. Sometimes it won us games, but most of the time it was useless and we ended up with no defense at all. Then on the Left Wing there was Violett, she is almost as fast of a skater as me but she's also almost as tiny as Marshi. (Shiny Rainbow is looking down on Marshi) M: Did you just call me tiny? (Shiny Rainbow is still looking down on Marshi using her hoofs to show the hight difference) M: Pffffft, i still won almost every faceoff! Do you know why? Because i can slash, i can kick and i can bite! SR: You were only winning faceoffs because you played dirty as hell and the referies were scared of you! M: They were right to be scared. SR: And you were cheating! You had some kind of motor device in your skates to make you faster, still to this day i have no idea how they were even working! M: And I'm never going to tell you. SR: Also i think this kinda answers the question who was playing at Center for our team, which means even back then, i was already playing the Right Wing. We were such a bad team. If we wanted to have any chance, Marshi had to win the faceoff directly to me and i had to dangle around everyone and had to make sure the puck stays in my possession. M: Sugi had a good shot though. SR: But none of us ever knew if she was actually going to shoot if we pass her the puck and most of the time she just didn't! M: Right, that was unfortunate. Now let's get to the most important question: Who is going to pick you? Which team did you meet up with and talk to? SR: Actually alot of teams did contact me. I'm so happy that I'm on so many teams radar. So first there were the Colorado Raptors , but i don't think they are going to pick me because they are stacked on my position. I mean really stacked. Then the Detroit Falcons and Nevada Battleborn reached out to me. I think i'd be a great fit on their teams but i didn't had the feeling they were too interested in drafting me. But it's a possibility. I also had brief chats with the representatives of the Quebec City Citadelles , Anchorage Armada , Thunder Bay Walleye and Great Falls Grizzlies but i have no idea if they want to draft me. I got pretty good vibes from the Ottawa Highlanders , but they plan to go all in on Defensman. So I guees I'd only be a late round option for them. Then there are the Yukon Malamutes who i had the longest meeting with, however they mentioned they are not really looking for a Right Winger but for a Center. My guts tell me they might be one of the two most likely destinations i could end up. The other ones are the Kelowna Knights . I had not just one but two meetings with them, so they must be interested enough to consider drafting me. They also showed me their alternative Rainbow Knights Logo. Let me tell you it's the coolest thing ever, imagine me wearing that one. I'd be the coolest player on the ice, Shiny Rainbow the Rainbow Knight! AWEEEEESOMEEEEEE! M: And the Tidal ? I mean you publicly said they are your favourite team? SR: They didn't reach out to me. They don't want me. And i don't want to play for them anymore. They're lame. I mean the surfing hockey player on their logo doesn't even have a surfboard. So Lame! Neither did the Carolina Kraken , Vancouver Whalers , St. Louis Scarecrows , Newfoundland Berserkers and Maine Timber , I guess those 6 Teams have seen the first interview and now think i'm an ass. Or they just think I'm not good enough for the SMJHL. M: I'm sorry Shiny, that the Tidal didn't even contact you. But more important: Did you just say the Mamalutes are looking for a Center? Maybe one who is really good at taking faceoffs? SR: Marshi! You cheat and you play dirty. You can't play in the SMJHL and you can't play for the Mamalutes. Also this is my Draft Interview and it should be about me getting draftet! M: Yeah, we can continue in a second I'm justing sending the Mamalutes GMs number from your phone to myself. SR: My phone? It's in my... Marshi! Give me back my Phone! M: There it is, got it. Here you can have it back now. SR: Keep your hoofs off my stuff Marshi. And you're starting to ruin the draft for me AGAIN! I'm so close to quit this interview and send Sugi to you instead right now. M: Why? I'm just helping you Shiny i even told the St. Louis Scarecrows and Newfoundland Berserkers you're not interested to play for them so they wont even bother you and I also deleted the first message of the Kelowna Knights when they first tried to contact you. I have no idea how they still got through to you in a way that you even had to meet up twice with them. SR: YOU DID WHAT? YOU DID FREAKING WHAT? You tried to ruin Shiny Rainbow the Rainbow Knight? I hate you you Marshi, I'm done with this interview. I'll go get Sugi now and I'll tell her that you are ready to show her what kind of surprise you got for her now. Bye. M: Shit, hey cameraman we need to pack up and remove all of this quickly. Fast, fast, fast, fast, hurry up already. And i'll send this in now. (2047 words)
